When only the finest will do!

I have had several people ask me about were to find the pendants I mounted the stitched pieces in. They are all custom made with a glass foiling technique. I made each one by hand (fun with a soldering iron) and there is no equivalent in a non-custom format. Milady's Needle does have a hinged glass pendant (square or rectangular) for some new designs she released in Nashville and we can get just the pendant. You can check out her blog to see some photos of them. I have also purchased some glass pendants in the past from another company but I wasn't happy with the quality of them - I do like the ones Gloria has access to. Keep in mind these do not look like the custom made ones, but it does get you a nice small glass pendant. If you're interested in those pendants just ask your local Society Shop about the ones from Milady's Needle. - Cathe

About the Society

We are a collection of five needlework shops with a love of fine needlework, for our customers and ourselves. We are pleased to be bringing a new thread to those who love fine work; hand-dyed Soie Surfine. It is being hand-dyed exclusively for us by Gloriana Threads and is not available anywhere else.

Soie Surfine is a 130/2 silk thread from Au ver à Soie®, similar in twist to their popular Soie 100/3 but much finer. It stitches up wonderfully on 40 and 45 count linen.

Our hand-dyed Soie Surfine is only available through Society Member shops. Our subscription series feature five thread colors and a custom dyed linen color from Lakeside Linens for Society Subscribers. Your subscription to a series will entitle you to one skein of each silk color and one piece of our fabric selection (you can specify 40 or 45 count). We release one item approximately every 2 months for a total of 6 shipments (5 threads and 1 fabric).
